In the most recent Aides outbreak, it is difficult to see who will be affected more: Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry.

Rick Perry has two campaign aides who have put together an ebook attacking Newt Gingrich’s wife. Tom Brevan and Carl Cannon are two former Newt aides who jumped ship and went to Perry’s campaign after Newt decided to take a May cruise with his wife Callista. At the time, it was seen as the early demise of the Newt campaign. But Newt recovered from Aides and is now occupying the top seat in the polls.

Now, those former aides are attacking Newt and his family in a new book that is filled with what the Huffington Post describes as “intense…vitriol”.

Will this actually help Perry’s floundering campaign? Doubtful. If anything it may give Obama ammunition in the general election, just as Cain’s sexual harassment allegations have. In fact, Cain at first blamed his former aides who had gone over to Perry’s campaign for the harassment allegations. This outright attack on Callista Gingrich by former Newt, now current Perry aides throws fuel on that speculative fire.

Overall, this is part of a greater media attack on Newt as the new front runner, that includes trying to tie him in to extravagant spending by Freddie Mac. However, the AP Headlines don’t tell how long ago Newt consulted for the failed quasi government mortgage giant, or that one of the reasons they failed is because they failed to take his advice.

In the end, this spitball attack on Newt Gingrich will reflect poorly on Rick Perry, who needs find a way to get his Aides under control.
